Getting to Katavi N.P.

This is the catch.

To give you a perspective, Ruaha is only half way from Dar as the crow flies and the park can only realistically be reached by light aircraft from Dar, Arusha or Ruaha.
Safari Air Link SAL have a Cessna 206 permanently based in Ruaha for this purpose.

Safari Air Link Scheduled Flights:
SAL operates twice a week scheduled flights on Mondays and Thursdays from Katavi and Mahale to Ruaha/Mikumi/Selous and Zanzibar/Dar connecting also to Saadani National Park, Lazy Lagoon and Pangani.
Since you are just paying for a seat and not the whole plane this is also the most cost effective way for couples, singles or small groups.
